Like Annie's family, ours has a broad variety of ideologies, religious beliefs, and political preferences. We have everything from staunchest Nascar rednecks to those who march for the OWS to the most leftwing extremes complete with all the assigned talking points. So needless to say, at large family gatherings we don't talk politics. Or religion. And that also goes for my friends who also range from the most liberal of liberals to the most conservative of conservatives and includes atheists and everything in between that and rigid fundamentalists.
So no, I have never lost a friend or family member due to politics. We pretty much accept each other as we are.
